  • Patent number: 10059206
    Abstract: A method controls an electric drive system of a vehicle including an electric drive motor, a drive battery, and a drive inverter. The method includes detecting that a measurement of an insulation resistance between the battery and a chassis of the vehicle is below a preset threshold, detecting a closed state of relays connecting the battery to the inverter, and following the detecting the measurement and the detecting the closed state, activating a cooling fan of the electric drive motor until detecting that a measurement of the insulation resistance is above the preset threshold, within a limit of a first preset duration.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 12, 2014
    Date of Patent: August 28, 2018
    Assignee: RENAULT s.a.s.
    Inventors: Walid Ben Ahmed, Pietro Dolcini, Islam Ait-Hammouda, Pascal Le-Neel

  • Patent number: 9199552
    Abstract: A method for monitoring torque produced by a motor vehicle engine, or an electric engine, including: comparing an estimated or measured value of torque produced by the engine with a low limit value or high limit value to detect excessive braking or acceleration and/or a lack of braking or acceleration; calculating the low limit value or high limit value, the calculating including: subtracting or adding a static error value to a torque value requested by a driver of the vehicle to obtain a low or high intermediate signal; and applying, to the intermediate signal, a delay corresponding to a response time of the engine to a torque increase request or to a torque decrease request expressed by the driver of the vehicle.
